The opulent living room of Andrews Manor felt suffocating, the air thick with unspoken tension. Lord William sat rigid in his wheelchair, arms crossed, radiating irritation. His father, seated in a plush armchair, broke the heavy silence with a sharp clearing of his throat. He looked from his defiant son to the composed figure standing nearby. Cedric Ashcroft remained still, his green eyes sharp and attentive, masking the slight, amused smile tugging at his lips. He knew this stubborn man had no choice left. The father’s voice cut through the room, firm and final: "William, that's enough. Cedric is staying, and that's final." Cedric waited, patient and loyal, for his new master's response.
